Fudao, one of the world's top 10 most beautiful walkways, Fuzhou one-day tour guide

🤩 If you are traveling to Fuzhou, don't miss Fudao, which was nominated by National Geographic as one of the world's top 10 most beautiful walkways! 🌳 Even if you only walk a short distance, you can still enjoy the city's leisurely atmosphere of "walking around the mountain and overlooking the city from the air." ✅ Fudao introduction: Fudao is in a prime location, with its central axis along the ridge of Jinniu Mountain, and it runs through five major parks in Fuzhou (Zuo Hai, Meifeng Mountain, Jinniu Mountain Sports, Guoguang, and Jinniu Mountain). 🔹 You can hike and exercise, with a total length of about 7 km. 🔹 You can climb high and look far, with a panoramic view of the city and the Minjiang River. 🔹 You can visit the parks, such as Azalea Valley, Cherry Blossom Garden, Purple Bamboo Forest, Cliff Carvings, and Orchid Creek. 🔹 You can also have a drink in a teahouse and spend your time leisurely. ✅ Guide: ❗ Full of energy: Enter from Entrance 1 → Exit 5, I took 2.5 hours and walked 7 km. ❗ Limited time: You can enter from Entrance 3 → Exit 5. ❗ Extremely limited time: Enter from Entrance 5, climb high and look far, and then return to Entrance 5. ✅ My own route: Entrance 1 (Xiangshan Tunnel) ➡️ Entrance 3 (see Metasequoia, December) ➡️ Entrance 7 (18 bends of mountain road) ➡️ Entrance 5 (there is the highest viewing platform nearby with excellent scenery) ✅ Talk about each place separately: 1️⃣ Entrance 1: Near Xiangshan Tunnel, close to Fujian Museum, Zuo Hai Park/West Lake Park is also nearby. There are very few people on this section, and when I walked to 1.5 km, there were very few people and few views. 3️⃣ Entrance 3: ◽ Meifeng Mountain Park, with a water walkway, I went there in December, and the color of the Metasequoia was extremely beautiful. ◽ There is also a large pavilion and a circular mountain road with great views. 5️⃣ Entrance 5: ◽ Jinniu Mountain Sports Park, ⚠️ Note that it is not Jinniu Mountain Park. Before reaching Entrance 5, there is an excellent viewing platform, which is a teahouse. You can go to the top floor to see the Minjiang River and the cityscape without drinking tea. It is one of the best viewing platforms in Fudao. If you have time, you can also make tea around the stove and wait for the sunset. 6️⃣ Entrance 6: ◽ I didn't walk there. 7️⃣ Entrance 7: ◽ This entrance is very close to Entrance 6, and this part of the walkway is like the 18 bends of a mountain road, which is very visually impactful and a great place to take photos. Summary: ✅ I originally planned to go to the museum, but I didn't have enough time, so I went to Fudao directly from Entrance 1. ✅ If you have limited time, enter from Entrance 3 and exit from Entrance 5, and you will see all the highlights. ✅ If you want to see the night view of the lights, when it is not dark, it is recommended to go up from Entrance 5 to see the sunset, and go down from Entrance 3 to see the lights. If you don't have enough time or it is dark, go directly to Entrance 3. ✅ If you want to see the sunset and river view, you can go to Entrance 5 or go down to Entrance 6/7. ⚠️ Opening hours: 6:00–22:00, it is recommended to leave before 21:30 to avoid the lights going out.
